Pitiful Heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts. The rage of the keyblade releases those hearts. They gather in darkness, masterless and free...until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts. And when that time comes, we can truly, finally exist.

In the Grey Room stood a man with flaming red hair that burst into spikes, he was tall and slender with sharp eyes and a smirking face. In front of him stood a quiet boy with blonde, spikey hair and crystal-blue eyes. At the moment, his eyes were dull and his face was sullen and shy.

The man with the red hair laughed when he caught sight of the smaller boy. "Heya, Roxas." Roxas. So that was his name..? Roxas didn't respond or acknowledge the older man. Sarcastically, the elder remarked, "Something I can help you with there, chatterbox?" Still no reply came. Roxas seemed as if he was empty. The red head carried on with the same tone as he left off, "Ah, I remember now. We were supposed to convene in the Round Room today." He stopped and sighed, moving his hanging arms to cross above his chest. "Blegh, meetings.."

The spikey-haired boy raised his head in questioning. "Round..Room..?" He nodded with a slight grin. It must've been rare for the blonde to talk.

"Yup. Apparently the boss man's got some big news." A glint of curiosity flashed in his icy eyes and he shrugged it off dismissively. He chuckled slightly and gestured to the hall, "Wanna head over there now?" The boy absently nodded and gave a "yeah.." in response. So much for talking, I suppose. "Alrighty..then." The man lifted a hand to scratch the back of his head, but instead pointed a thumb at himself and gave a half smile. "Follow me."

They made their way forward and Roxas followed slowly behind, unable to think or focus. He hadn't had enough time to collect himself and so he began to trail a bit with the older male figure glancing back occasionally to check on him. "Hurry up, Roxas. The boss is going to be raging mad if we don't go to his little 'party'." Party? Roxas blinked and picked up the pace.

Eventually they reached the dark corridors leading to the Round Room. Everyone had taken their seats and were waiting for Xemnas to speak. He was boss, afterall. The low voice erupted from the more-than-creepy-can-get nobody with the silver hair. "Good tidings, friends."

-Reciax's P.O.V.-

It was then that I let my mind rest from searching the hallways and watching all of these people. I wasn't sure where I was and who they all were, but I was slowly finding out. I had thrown out my mind to see if I could find any valuable information, but I seemed to have failed. All I had found was a blonde woman and the red-haired man fighting, a boy named Roxas who lit a flame of curiosity in my mind, and a couple of names. Why does he seem so familiar? I shook it off and waited. The person beside me had her hood up and hadn't said a word. I wonder what-

The voice of my boss interrupted my thoughts again. -"Today is a momentous day." I looked around, unsure of where all the voices were coming from, but I was sure I would see them soon enough. "I am pleased to announce that some new comrades have been chosen to wear the coat." I pulled up my hood over my head and made my way out slowly behind the other girl silently. It was our cue. He introduced her as "Number XIV," and I as "Number XV."

She looked over to the boy who I had earlier found to be Roxas. Not removing her hood, she gave him a smirk. The look of surprise on his face struck a little flutter in my heart, but it reduced to a burnt coal. Whatever that was, it felt like it was eating my insides.

I tilted my head back to stare at all the beings towering above me. It was as if they were monumented. I kept a mental note of all of them, though I didn't really know them at all. But Roxas.. he seemed so familiar. Oh well. I sighed and followed a blue-haired elf-like man out of the Round Room with the other hooded figure.

After a couple minutes of walking in silence with only the sound of our boots making noise, I stopped, a sudden question in my mind that I just had to ask. "Why are you wearing a hood? ..And what's your name?" The blue haired man turned to look at me in astonishment and the girl turned with a frown on her face. Let's just say that my question was ignored.

I was led to an empty room that had a few more black coats, boots, toiletries, a laundry bag, linens, and that was all. Finally the man with the blue hair and scar on his face presented himself. Just before leaving, he announced "I am Saix. "

I threw him a large smile and laughed. "I'm Reciax! Nice to meet you!" I extended my hand. He eyed it curiously and scoffed. I must have made him think I was weird, because his expression was very odd. "Uh.. Is there any paper and pen here?" I cheekily grinned and then threw my hands behind my head whilst leaning back.

Saix looked at me with a look of horror and then whipped around, walking away and before leaving, muttered "Stop acting like you have emotions. It's depressing." He shut the door behind him with a bold slam. I pouted, "Geez. What's his problem?" I stopped in wonder of what I had just done. "That..definitely was not me right there."

I had been having these conflicting little things in my heads.. They're called memories, but memories are things you remember. They aren't mine and I know that for a fact.

Snapping out of whatever trance I was in moments before, I found myself walking and kicking the ground while slowly making my way over to a little dresser. "This is nice.." I ran my fingers along the edge of the dresser's frame and bent down to look in the drawers. They were all empty, except for one. There was a little heart on a chain.

It was silver and pristine, but obviously very old. The material looked as if it would be cold, but there was no chill. Only spreading warmth. "This.. this is a locket?" I saw the ridge where it was split on the side and attempted to get it open. It wouldn't budge. "Oh well, maybe this heart's not ready to open up yet." I sighed and held it in a fist, making my way over to the bed.

It's odd how fast sleep wanted to wash over me as I looked at the beautiful locket. I twisted it and twirled it in my fingers and kept it in my grasp. It felt so natural when I held it to my chest, cupped in my hands. I closed my eyes and smiled. "Emotions? Don't you need a heart for that?"

Just before I was able to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door and a voice came from behind it, causing me to turn and hide the locket in my glove. "Hey, you in there, kid?" I blinked dumbly.

"Uh, yeah."

There was a pause until the voice laughed. "Oh great, you're not a zombie."

I was thrown off, "A-a what?" The door knob turned and the door opened. In walked the redhead that was talking to the boy, Roxas, earlier before. "Oh hello there." The earlier mentioned man pursed his lips into a weird smile and waved.

He made his way over to the foot of my bed and sat down with his legs crossed. In his arms, he held some of the previously mentioned paper and pen. "So you're the servant here, are you?" I teased him jokingly and laughed. He made the same face as Saix did. "Hey, why does everyone keep making that face?" My own face drooped and I frowned at the man.

"It's nothing. It's just that Nobodies don't have emotions." He turned to the window on the left side of my bed and stared at the night sky. "Either that or you're just a really good actor." I shifted to look at his profile. His eyes were cold and his hair was red, long, and very spiked. He seemed gentle, but fierce. Almost as if he was a ticking bomb. I didn't notice I was gawking until he waved his gloved hand in front of my face. "Hello. Hello, in there!"

I shook my head. "Oh sorry... Wait, I never found out your name." He snickered as if waiting for that moment many times before.

"Axel. Got it memorized?" He pointed to his brain with a wink and then looked down at his arms. He raised his eyebrows and then held out the paper and pen in front of him. I continued to look at him blankly. Axel. "Here."

"What?"

"Take it."

He pushed the pen and paper at me. There were some pencils tied with rubber bands, too. He sighed and then heaved himself off of the bed. "Thanks.." He began walking out the room and he nodded. He got to the frame of the door and was about to shut it when I said ", Axel."

Axel hesitated with closing the door, but he turned around and whispered "Goodnight, Reciax. Welcome to the Organization." The door shut with a click. I stared after him, paper, pen, and pencils laying beside me on my bed.

"Yeah...Welcome." From my sitting position, I let my back and arms flop down on the firm mattress of the bed, the oddly shaped moon shining down on my face and the dimly lit room. I reached for my glove at the end of the bed and pulled out the shining locket. It was then that I held it close to me and fell asleep, pen and pencils, as well as paper still resting on my bed and alone in a nearly empty room.

-Dream P.O.V.-

A reserved girl sat waiting patiently along the shore of a marvelous beach with transparent tides washing up on the sand, leaving seashells in its' path. The foam from the tides quickly evaporated. The gentle wind and the warm temperature softly tugged at her hair and the trees swayed like her thinking form. A small form appeared on the horizon behind her and it began to shout, causing her to turn around curiously. Finally the 'shouts' became audible.

"Hey, Erica!" A young teenage brunette with beautiful brown eyes and a large smile to match ran up to another girl with dirty blonde hair that fell in curls and bright sparkling blue-grey eyes. "I missed you~!" She threw 'Erica' into a bear hug while the blonde girl squealed in embarrassment.

"You just saw me yesterday, Carly." Erica laughed at 'Carly' dismissively. "Geez, you get way TOO excited." Carly pouted and crossed her arms like a young child.

"Well I don't want you disappearing on me, " She tittered while placing a hand on her hip and pointing at Erica. "Since you promised we'd be friends forever." The sandy haired girl beamed and held up a stern finger to scold her friend as if she wouldn't listen.

"Forever is a really long time, Carly-chan.." Erica began to state. Carly's face emanated of hurt, but Erica shook her hands in a scare as the tears welled up. "But I don't mind spending it with you!" Erica, shining with assurance, helped to make the tears threatening to fall from the girl's chocolate orbs vanish. "Now don't go crying on me, buddy." Carly sniffed a little and then perked up.

"I bet I can beat you back home-" Carly started to taunt, Erica.

"Hey! No fair!" The stubborn blue-eyed girl shook her head and stomped a bit.

"How so?" She smirked while taking on the stance of someone with a definite point.

"You know I can't run fast!"

"Too bad!" Carly began to sprint off and then called over her shoulder, "Maybe if we get back in time, we can catch Kairi, Sora, Riku, and Selphie for the fireworks! Tidus is setting them up right now and you know I love explosions!"

A smile made its way onto Erica's face and she burst off running after her.

"Reciax! Reciax, wake up!"

-Reciax's P.O.V.-

I bolted upright as someone began to angrily shake me awake. "Reciax! Reciax, wake up!" My eyes snapped open and my pupils darted from left to right as I began to decipher where I was. Oh, right.. The Organization. Casting a shadow over me was the friendly man with the sitar. I'd yet to learn his na- "I'm Demyx," Okay, well I figured it ou- "I will show you to breakfast and then the Grey Room."

I sat lamely on my bed as 'Demyx' interrupted my every waking thought. I decided I would chime in on the conversation before he tried to blabber again. "Wonderful, thanks. Uh, how did you get in my room?" I held the side of my face and smiled nervously as he pointed out obviously that there was a door.

"Did you draw these?" Demyx gestured to the walls in wonder. I made a bit of a "huh?" sound as my eyes widened and they followed his hands to the said walls. There were colourful drawings scattered across the majority of the left side of the room and the walls were no longer plain, due to the fact the sketches and pieces hung there.

I sheepishly swung my legs over the bed and made my way over to examine the art. "I don't have any tape, or colours to colour with." I looked closer at one of them specifically of a blonde-haired girl and a brunette girl sitting underneathe palm trees on a beach. "..I don't think they're mine."

Demyx laughed, walked over to me, and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Well maybe you draw in your sleep, because nobody here has any artistic ability like that whatsoever." Demyx removed his hand when my shoulders tensed at the contact. Chuckling absently, he left the room whilst saying, "You remind me of Namine." He then proceeded with reminding me to freshen up, get dressed, and meet with him in the hallway once I was finished so he could take me to go meet everyone at breakfast and eat as well.

Once he had left, it was only then I noticed the presence of the locket in my hand. I hadn't let go of it. I made my way over to the dresser and put it in the top drawer. Apparently I, or somebody, had put all of my drawing supplies in there. But there were some new things like colours and paints, a sketch pad.. and a note. I lowered the locket into the drawer so as to tuck it away safely. I looked at the note with questioning carefulness. It had been recently folded and it was written on a yellow-creme coloured paper.

I decided to save it for later when my stomach erupted into massive fits of growling. "AHH. Calm down!" My face turned beet red from the embarrassment of my stomach making a weird noise. It stopped for a moment, only to pick up seconds later. "AHAHA Stop! I'm going, I'm going!" I swiftly shut the drawer and made my way over to the closet with all of the things they had provided me with. I somehow eventually made my way to the showers, where I walked past the snappy blonde lady who was fighting with Axel earlier the day before when I had first arrived. Afterwards, I got dressed in the clothing they had given me and I brushed my hair. I ended up just putting it in a high-ponytail so I wouldn't have to be bothered by it whipping in my face.

Finally done after much shorter than I had expected, I groggily made my way over to Demyx who greeted me with "Wow, a shower and a clean up makes such a difference." He threw on a smug look on his face and it caused my face to flush all the way from my forehead and ear tips, down to my neck and collarbones. "Nice face." Then my stomach began to scream at me once again, which didn't help. "Someone seems a little hungry."

"Not helping." I muttered and hid my face in my hands out of shame. Demyx threw an arm around my shoulder and laughed hardily as we made our way to the place where we could get some food.

Moments later we walked into the kitchen. There were breads, pastries, meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables. As well as a lot of different cereals in the cupboards and scattered around. "Here we are! Help yourself before X-face trips you up. He loves the Corn Flakes." Demyx winked and then tapped his chin. "You know how to get to the Grey Room from here?" I was looking over the food and ignoring him. "Uh..hey, you."

"Huh? ..I.." I slowly turned my head to him, examining every food I saw in the process..."My name's Reciax, remember?" -when I saw.. "You have peanut butter!" I ran towards the jar of what looked like peanut butter and twisted off the cap. Thankfully, someone had left the drawer with the eating utensils open. Yanking out a spoon, I began to dip the spoon into the amazing food when I was interrupted from my glorious moment.

"Shit! Don't touch that!"

I stook the spoon in my mouth and looked at him with wide eyes. I slowly withdrew the spoon, peanut butter and all. "Whaaat?" I whined. I was hungry and this peanut butter was looking really good at the given moment. "I'm hungry, Demyx. Let me eat food."

Demyx stepped forward and smiled. "If you want to have a little chat with Axel about him and his Nutella, go ahead, but don't say I didn't warn you."

"If you haven't noticed, I'm pretty clueless and I prefer not to die of starvation." I lifted the spoon to my mouth when I stopped myself again. "Wait.. Nutella?" Demyx nodded slowly with a grim look on his face as I mentioned it. "Ergh.. I don't know what that is, but I am going to go toast a bagel," I pointed over to the bagels as Demyx continued to duck his head, "and put this.." I held up the spoon overflowing of nutella to show Demyx, "-on the bagel."

"You are going to die, but I have a feeling it will be pretty entertaining."

I had a feeling this place would be pretty interesting.
